Comments: Picked up 4 of these in June last summer for bottom fishing Lingcod and Halibut up here in Kodiak. Butter smooth, great retrieve ratios. I got 4 of the 5CS, handled everything up to 150lb halibut with no issues at all. Testing them on my downrigger rods right now and I'll be getting 4 more for the riggers now.
